This is just one of the “fails” of the argument that the grid, or local transformers cannot handle what amounts to an additional clothes dryer in households. It’s going to be a relatively slow transition, which can be planned out. Dr. Strangelove also nailed the foolishness of the argument that a Tesla needs 50 hours to charge on a Level 1 charger. Even the folks who SELL Level 2 chargers admit that many people will not need them, as level 1 charging overnight will give them plenty of miles of range per day. It’s not common that every single car in a neighbourhood is travelling more than 100km per day, every day, after all. Sam is doing a good job though, of bringing up these old talking points in a reasonable manner. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-are-your-electric-vehicle-plans/923614)._
